There's Graphic Workshop software for DOS with support for two flatbed scanners from HP: ScanJet IIC, ScanJet Plus.

These are the drivers for Orchid Prodesigner, also based on ET3000 - ftp://ftp.oldskool.org/pub/drivers/TSENG/ET3000.ZIP

Make sure that chipset drivers are installed.

Where can I get it/purchase? Image 72 gives back so many different results! Obviously it was bundled with various products, I've also found an A4Tech branded version, probably from one of their mice. If you want more details, create a separate thread - hopefully somebody recalls which exactly …

Now, if anybody has a copy of WittyScanner 72 paint software, that'd make my decade. I've been looking for that since 1995.. If you mean "Image 72", then it's easy to find - it was commonly bundled with some scanners. With some luck, you can even find a boxed set, and it won't even be expensive - …

I guess AudioStation was made by Voyetra, and sold with various cards with OEM branding. With ESS cards, there was AudioRack - probably ESS's own work. And there was similar software provided with GUS, not sure what exactly... Sound Impression?

Re: Super low-level Format for floppy
Posted on 2021-11-21, 17:36
There's nothing better than "format a: /u" under DOS. All you can do is to run format several times - sometimes the media is slightly dirty, and it cleans itself while revolving. I've seen many times when the first run of format resulted in some bad sectors, the second in fewer bad sectors, and …
Re: Floppy 3 & 4 without BIOS support
Posted on 2021-11-20, 17:39
Just do what is described in the article linked above. It works fine, I did this already in the mid 1980s to connect 4 drives. But what exactly do you mean? There's many scenarios described in that article... Also, in mid-80s... wasn't that with an XT-style, DD-only controller? I need HD, of course …

Wait a min... I think I've missed something... Is there some new driver for >2 FDDs? Not that I really need one... Once upon a time, I tried to install two generic multi-I/O cards, one jumpered for primary FDC address, the other for secondary - but it didn't work, even the drive connected to the …

Indeed. It's possible to have more than two floppy drives - https://www.seasip.info/VintagePC/floppies.html ...but those dual 5.25+3.5 drives aren't of any help here.

Perhaps there was some compression, at least simple skipping of all-zero sectors? A disk image may be 1 GB, but if the files within only occupy 100 MB, then a good imaging software can save a lot on network usage...

Re: The most coolest IDE hardrives....

At certain times it used to make ticking noises that you would expect on drives about to fail, and... it never did. I recall IBM drives from that era - both IDE Deskstars and SCSI Ultrastars - occasionally making a disturbing sound... nevertheless, they passed all the diagnostics procedures, and …

I only accept the sound of stepper drives 😜 So, if speaking about IDE stuff, it would be the early ones, like ST-157A or WD95044-A

PCNet32 derived cards should support full duplex. The Am79C965 datasheet only mentions full duplex in loopback mode, for test purposes. No FD during normal operation. Same story with its PCI counterpart - Am79C970 Real full duplex was introduced with the second generation of PCnet chips - PCnet-ISA …
